Question: If $\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+\sqrt{1-y^{2}}=a(x-y)$, prove that $\frac{d y}{d x}=\sqrt{\frac{1-y^{2}}{1-x^{2}}}$. Solution: We are given with an equation $\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+\sqrt{1-y^{2}}=a(x-y)$, we have to prove that $\frac{d y}{d x}=\sqrt{\frac{1-y^{2}}{1-x^{2}}}$ by using the given equation we will first find the value of $\frac{d y}{d x}$ and we will put this in the equation we have to prove, so by differentiating the equation on both sides with respect to $x$, we get, Put $x=\sin A$ and $y=\s...

Find the domain and the range of each of the following real

Question: Find the domain and the range of each of the following real function: $f(x)=\frac{3 x-2}{x+2}$ Solution: Given: $f(x)=\frac{3 x-2}{x+2}$ Need to find: Where the functions are defined. Let, $f(x)=\frac{3 x-2}{x+2}=y$ .......(1) To find the domain of the function f(x) we need to equate the denominator of the function to 0. Therefore $x+2=0$ $\Rightarrow x=-2$ It means that the denominator is zero when $x=-2$ So, the domain of the function is the set of all the real numbers except $-2$. T...

Robin purchased an old car for Rs 73500.

Question: Robin purchased an old car for Rs 73500. He spent Rs 10300 on repairs and paid Rs 2600 for its insurance. Then he sold it to a mechanic for Rs 84240. What was his percentage gain or loss? Solution: CP of the car $=$ Rs. 73500 Repairs $=$ Rs. 10300 Insurance $=$ Rs. 2600 Total CP $=73500+10300+2600=$ Rs. 86400 SP $=$ Rs. 84240 Since SP $$ CP, Robin has a loss.
